The lack of learning from what happened last year is concerning to me.

If Penn doesn't finish Top 4, I think we see "finals" numbers, or less, for both days this season. So, what they're really doing here is saying, if Penn can finish top 4, we can get big crowds at The Palestra - ramifications on our tourney win odds be damned.

That's a pretty ridiculous abdication of the responsibility that comes along with administering a league event.

It was worth experimenting with this format, but now that we see what the league's priorities are and have more information on the current college basketball landscape vis a vis the NCAA Tournament, I'm no longer on board. As I presumed from the start, the much, much, much better thing for the league would have been to keep the game AND go every year MTE rather than mishandle a tourney and put it in a format that is more likely to have real costs.
